Episode Details

Nineteen-year-old Mexican migrant, Royer Perez-Jimenez, died in a Florida county jail used for immigrant detainees, marking the second death in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this week. Perez-Jimenez, who was arrested in January and transferred to ICE a month later, was found unconscious in his dormitory and pronounced dead shortly after. His death is the forty-sixth in ICE custody since President Trump took office and the youngest this year. The Mexican government and immigrant advocates have condemned the death, citing harsh detention conditions as a major factor. Officials have released few details, and the incident is part of a pattern of thirteen ICE custody deaths so far this year.
